NHTSA recall 08V193000
Steering · Coachmen RV Company, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The filter can plug due to failure of the screen adhesion to the filter housing causing a rise in return line pressure. This can lead to hose separation from the filter or steering gear fitting resulting in a sudden loss of steering fluid and power assist.
Why it matters: Sudden loss of steering assist without warning involving a motor home could be a problem for certain drivers increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Coachmen is working with freightliner to replace the affected filters with a larger filter (please see 07V570).
